Messenger & Shoulder Bags

Custom Messenger Bags Made to Customer Requirements

Messenger bags and shoulder bags combine practical carrying capacity with a design that can be worn across the body or over the shoulder, keeping both hands free. At IGRO, the focus is on producing bags to customer requirements. Different constructions can provide the starting point for an individually specified solution.

For companies, agencies and promotional product distributors, the decision is therefore not simply which existing model to select. Depending on the project, material, size, carrying method, compartments, closures and other features can be considered. The exact options depend on the selected construction.

Shoulder Bags for Different Requirements

A messenger bag can be designed for documents, personal belongings or mobile devices. Different constructions are also suitable for trade fairs, events and promotional campaigns as well as business and everyday applications.

Depending on the design, solutions can include:

• short or long carrying handles
• adjustable shoulder straps
• internal compartments
• organiser sections
• phone and pen pockets
• different closure systems
• padded areas

The actual features depend on the chosen construction.

Materials for Messenger Bags

IGRO produces customised bags in different materials. Depending on the design, messenger bags can be made from materials such as cotton or canvas, PP non-woven, washable paper or tarpaulin.

One example is the Papelin Messenger Bag BAG810, made from washable paper. It is designed to be carried over the shoulder and can be produced in different sizes with different handle and closure options. The product page specifies short, long or adjustable carrying options as well as internal pockets.

Classic canvas designs are also part of the messenger bag range. The BAG403 is described as a canvas messenger bag with a long carrying strap and internal pocket.

For lightweight bag solutions, PP non-woven is another option. The BAG31M_PP is a PP non-woven messenger bag with two large internal compartments plus phone and pen compartments.

Customise Your Messenger Bag

With custom production, the bag is not defined solely by its printed design. Depending on the product, constructional details can also be adapted to the project.

These may include:

• required dimensions
• material and material specification
• colours
• straps or handles
• closures
• internal compartments
• organiser sections
• padding
• other product features

The available options need to be confirmed for the specific bag. IGRO describes the selection of materials, sizes, colours and details as part of its custom bag production.

Printing and Branding Messenger Bags

Messenger bags offer different branding options depending on their material and surface. Depending on the product, these can include printing, embroidery and other finishing methods.

For the Papelin Messenger Bag BAG810, one- or two-sided printing and embroidery are specified. The outside of the flap provides a dedicated branding area.

For a custom-made messenger bag, branding should be considered during the design stage so that the material, construction and finishing work together.

Messenger Bags for Trade Fairs, Business and Promotions

Messenger bags are useful wherever documents, personal belongings or mobile devices need to be carried. At trade fairs, they can be used for information material. In business settings, designs can be developed for documents and mobile devices.

For promotional activities and events, messenger bags can be produced as customised promotional bags. The appropriate material and construction depend on the intended application and required features.

Selected Constructions

Not every product shown across IGRO’s different category pages automatically belongs in the Messenger Bags / Shoulder Bags category. The relevant bag construction should therefore determine which examples are used for this category.

Papelin Messenger Bag BAG810

The BAG810 is a washable paper messenger bag with shoulder strap. It can be produced to customer specifications from 1,000 pieces. Specified options include different sizes, handle configurations, closures and internal pockets as well as one- or two-sided printing and embroidery.

Canvas Messenger Bag BAG403

The BAG403 is a cotton canvas messenger bag with a long carrying strap and internal pocket. It is offered as a made-to-order product according to customer requirements, with individual solutions available for special colours.

Messenger Bag BAG31M_PP

The BAG31M_PP is a PP non-woven messenger bag with two large internal compartments plus phone and pen compartments. Its flap closes with hook-and-loop fasteners and provides a large printable surface.

These examples demonstrate different materials and construction approaches. A specific project does not necessarily need to use one of these exact models.

Choosing the Right Messenger Bag

Professional buyers should consider these points:

• Application: trade fair, business, promotion or another use?
• Format: which documents, devices or items need to be carried?
• Carrying method: shoulder strap, long carrying strap or another solution?
• Internal organisation: are separate compartments or organiser sections required?
• Material: which material suits the required construction?
• Branding: which finishing method is suitable for the material and surface?
• Quantity: what volume is required for the planned custom production?

The product examples provide orientation for different constructions. The final bag is selected and produced according to the requirements of the individual project.
